I do not use Supermium (I use Official Ungoogled Chromium v122 in conjuction with the PortableApps Portable Chrome loader). I personally have zero interest in anything based on Chrome v126 or higher! (Time may change that... eventually...) Using Supermium or not is irrelevant to the question, everything that I use for my YouTube experience can be used in Supermium. I've actually flip-flopped on YouTube. Six months or so ago, I dang near NEVER used it! Nowadays, I use it DAILY and even stopped paying for Netflix and Hulu in favor of YouTube without any advertisements! Project VORAPIS is "good"... But not great! It will wholly and fully depend on your own use/expectations/wish-list. It does not work "for me", but it may work "for you". Only you can answer that. For starters, one must realize that it isn't all about number of chrome.exe processes. YouTube with no extensions will run a higher CPU than YouTube with FOUR OR FIVE extensions and SLIGHTLY higher RAM consumption. For YouTube ads, I use uBlock Origin v1.59.0 (modified, I defuse the whole "blocked since install", "blocked on this page", et cetera as I see them as "usage tracking telemetry" that serves no purpose for functionality [and is inaccurate compared to other measurements]). But my YouTube experience relies on much MUCH more than just blocking ads. Tampermonkey v4.13 (modified to prevent Google Analytics telemetry, no "thanks for installing/uninstalling" auto-visits, cosmetic changes, et cetera) is used to set default preferences for Closed Captions, Annotations, Stable Volume Ambient Mode, home page view, what codecs are allowed, disable mouseover inline play, remove "shorts" as I am not interested in the general "lack of intelligence" of users that submit "shorts", disable "most replayed" graph as what OTHER people like to replay has no bearing whatsoever on what I may or may not replay, add autoplay button for playlists, et cetera. Stylus extension (modified) to add my own userstyles. Enhancer for YouTube extension (modified) for selecting playback quality on initial load versus entering full screen mode, for the popup player to watch the video while scrolling the list of suggested videos, for the "loop mode" control. Ears Audio Toolkit extension (modified) for equalizer effects (not limited to YouTube). Audio Compressor extension (modified) to alter dynamic range of audio (not limited to YouTube). PiP Floating Player extension (modified) to be able to minimize video as an always-on-top resizable player with its own player controls (not limited to YouTube, very useful for watching YouTube or news at work). Fullscreen Videos extension (modified) for NOT using Chrome's "full screen" mode, but using a "windowed" full screen where the video uses the entire browser window but maintains the Operating System's taskbar and the browsers tab/address/title bars.

Set "chrome://flags/#close-window-with-last-tab" to "Never", then relaunch Supermium...

If you are prepared to pay for an antimalware programme, I would have bought a RogueKiller licence. Glarysoft's Malware Hunter doesn't have many features, and I would rank it far behind RogueKiller. But to each their own.

Not quite that simple. I run 15 extensions and only have 12/13 processes running. I don't know the exact "formula", so to speak. But I know my Chromium will run eight (or is it four?) processes when I have NO EXTENSIONS installed. And I've had times where I'm testing extension after extension after extension after extension to look for one I want to keep and may have FORTY extensions installed but have NOWHERE NEAR forty processes running. Update: For me, zero extensions equals 5/6 processes. So adding FIFTEEN extensions only "added" 7/8 processes.

I don't bother with stock YouTube at all ever since I knew about Project VORAPIS. There are no ads in videos out of the box, no content blocker needed, the rest seem to be disableable through a couple of checkboxes. Sponsor segments are more annoying, but I don't watch a lot of stuff on YouTube anyway, so whatever... Not certain about autoplay, there's WATCH_PLAYER_NO_AUTOPLAY checkbox, not sure if it works under all circumstances or at all. Edit: Oh, there's another AD_ITEM further down... Probably the "renderer" items are most prominent.

I do not get video ads or static ads. And I'm not too keen on disabling my ad-blockers just to seek a solution. My main point is that all of these methods can be *combined* into a script that does what you are wanting it to do. ie, if one of the previous scripts is what you prefer, but you want to be able to pause then restart, then simply add the mouse/keyboard detection from the third script to be included in whichever of the first two scripts that you prefer to use.

ISSUES REVIEW WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS: Issue "+2TiB limit": The following versions of the Paragon driver will cause file corruption issues with +2TiB hard disks -Paragon GPT Loader 10.5.0.95 -Paragon HFS for Win 10.5.0.95 -Paragon HFS for Win 11.0.0.175 Solution "+2TiB limit": Use Paragon Partition Manager 15 (aka 2015) Professional x86 v10.1.25.779 (2015-09-18) with downgrade driver 8.0.1.0. You can check if the hard disk works with sectors above 32 bits with the program "h2testw". As it is a limit of sectors and not of written data, you can create a partition up to 2 TiB and another one above this to perform the test reaching the sectors that are above 2^32 https://h2testw.org/ ----------------------------------------- Issue "IDE mode not available": If we have other hard drives installed with AHCI/RAID mode enabled in BIOS/UEFI Paragon GPT Loader does not work. It may also happen that our UEFI does not have IDE mode. Solution " IDE mode": One way to enable IDE mode support is to connect the hard disks to a PCIExpress card with SATA ports that has a physical switch to enable "IDE mode" or "no-boot mode". ---------------------------- Issue "Blue screen on FAT32 boot drives after installing Paragon GPT driver": There is an error in the file name character length indicated in the registry in these versions: -Paragon GPT Loader 8.0.1.0 old version -Paragon GPT Loader 8.0.1.1 fork -Paragon GPT Loader 8.0.1.2 fork -Paragon GPT Loader 10.5.0.95 -Paragon HFS for Win 10.5.0.95 -Paragon HFS for Win 11.0.0.175 Contains an error that will cause us to suffer a blue screen when rebooting the system, at least if we have FAT32 on the Windows XP boot partition . This is because the driver file name "gpt_loader.sys" contains 10 characters instead of 8. This file is installed in the directory \WINDOWS\system32\drivers. Solution "Blue screen on FAT32 boot drives": Use Paragon Partition Manager 15 (aka 2015) Professional x86 v10.1.25.779 (2015-09-18) or follow these instructions: To solve it, we will modify the Windows registry as soon as we install it and before restarting the system. Go to start + run, type "regedit" and search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\gpt_loader Here change the value of ImagePath which says: system32\DRIVERS\gpt_loader.sys by system32\DRIVERS\GPT_LO~1.SYS and then reboot. Problem solved. ------------------------------------------- Issue "CHKDSK does not work during Windows startup": -All versions of Paragon drivers. In case of a file system error the boot will say that FAT32 and exFAT partitions are RAW. On NTFS partitions it will proceed to perform CHKDSK, but it will be invalid. Solution "CHKDSK": Once Windows boots you have to run chkdsk manually. Write down the drive letter and when Windows XP starts, perform from CMD a CHKDSK drive: /f ---------------------------------------------- Issue "External USB enclosures not compatible with Windows XP": Some external hard disks +2TB do not work in Windows XP even if Windows XP is enabled to read GPT disks, because the enclosure is not compatible with XP. For example, Seagate 5TB. Solution "for external enclosures": Change the hard drive to a compatible enclosure. which one? Or use a USB adapter for SATA disks compatible with Windows XP. which one? Some external USB adapters are limited to 5TB at GPT. It is best to initialize the hard disks connected directly to the motherboard. If you initialize the hard disk from some USB adapters, the hard disk may not be readable later if connected directly to the motherboard and vice versa. ---------------------------------------------- Issue "eSATA drives, the Paragon GPT driver does not work". After installing the driver the drive does not appear in the Windows disk manager. Solution "eSATA drives": If an external "caddy" enclosure is used, it may be incompatible with +2TB hard disks on Windows XP. Try connecting the hard drive disk to the eSATA port with an external power supply. It is also possible that if the hard drive has been initialized by connecting it directly to the motherboard, the eSATA adapter will not be able to read it and vice versa. eSATA ports also do not work in AHCI mode. One way to enable IDE mode support is to connect the caddy to a PCIExpress card with SATA ports that has a physical switch to enable "IDE mode" or "no-boot mode". ------------------------------------------------ Issue "new USB drivers cannot be installed after installing Windows 2003 GPT drivers" After installing these drivers incorrectly, when connecting a new USB stick the wizard to add new hardware will not appear and the units cannot be installed manually. Solution USB drivers See the solution to this and other old problems here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/181911-read-gpt-hard-disk-on-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1249360

"On January 6, 2019, Opera banned the Tampermonkey extension from being installed through the Chrome Web Store, claiming it had been identified as malicious" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampermonkey

One of the most notorious fingerprints Supermium has, it's the "version 99" tag, whereas all normal chromes have 24, https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1101

Then, why ask?

Thanks for the addition of classic drive grouping. Love that such functionality are making it to SAB. Do you think it would be at all possible to restore the old (was it pre 22H2?) navigation pane of Explorer?

And I hope you were quick and prevented your real IP from leaking!

Looks more like it's the level of his English.

At this point, honestly, I don't know whom to trust. If the guy says, he's behind it, why not make a portable version so we all could test with much less risk?

I finally resolved this issue after intensive brainstorm. See, recently some cool sites also stop loading for me with any browser on my quad-core XP machine. So i figured out that it's DNS servers. I changed DNS in my TCP\IP settings in Win XP to Cloudfare DNS addresses (cause they fastest and supposed to be secure). And, Voila - those pictures from 4pda and cool sites began to load.

Yeah, yeah, yeah - "i am to lazy but let start HOLY_WAR!!!" You contradicting yourself - if you don't want to argue - don't do that. I expect consistency and uniformity of actions and words. When Germany TEMPORARILY open coal mines to not left without electrical greed - she is there protesting it. But when ruzzia explodes Nord Stream (by the way - thanks, id*#**! ) she do nothing, only post in twitter. And when s*** hits the fan with ecology in Dnipro river or in Black Sea - where is her actions? It's double standards! If that happen near any western country - she would go in apeshit mode. But what - it's in Eastern Europe? - crickets, no reaction.

Thanks for the upload!

Here is a review of Huorong Internet Security v6: https://malwaretips.com/threads/huorong-internet-security-v6-finale.132002/ And the test results are rather disastrous. There is still a lot of room for improvement. So I can't agree with your assessment.

TBH, there are more offline on demand scanners which are most recent in terms of engine and virus defhinitions. For example, eScanAV Anti-Virus Toolkit (MWAV) or RogueKiller Anti-Malware Free. The more rare ones are antimalware programmes with real-time protection in Windows XP. In any case, it is good to list other programmes for Windows XP here, whether they are offline scanners or fully-fledged antimalware programmes with real-time protection.

The website web.archive.org can of course be used to view archived websites in old web browsers. It works, for example, in New Moon 28 or Serpent 52. It's more a question of defining what an old web browser is. The ability to temporarily disable CSP in UXP browsers is great. I need this frequently. E.g. to load certain web pages in iframes.

I personally control CSP via my self-created custom button Toggle CSP which I made available to the public a long time ago here: Due to the colours of Toggle CSP, one always knows whether CSP is enabled (green) or disabled (red). Disabling CSP is of course associated with a loss of security. On the other hand, CSP causes a lot of problems with different websites. So, it's up to the user to decide whether to enable or disable this feature.

Ok! Maybe, I have no problems accessing this website because I have generally disabled CSP in New Moon 28 for some reasons.

@Dietmar FYI, there are already three other threads on the subject of TRIM under Windows XP here in the forum. I don't know if you have looked through them yet. Here are the links: https://msfn.org/board/topic/181729-ssd-toolkit-for-xp/ https://msfn.org/board/topic/184168-trim-on-nvme-disk-under-winxp/#comment-1231474 https://msfn.org/board/topic/173482-can-windows-xp-pro-x86-safely-trim-an-ssd/ Cheers, AstroSkipper

I found two links (German websites) abour TRIM under Windows XP: https://www.pcwelt-forum.de/threads/trim-bei-win-xp-ausfuehren-geloest.514205/index.html https://www.die-oswalds.de/blog/2019/09/25/windows-xp-und-die-ssd/#:~:text=Windows XP unterstützt noch kein,TRIM-Support vom OS überflüssig. And you can try out the manufacturer's tool Samsung Magician: https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/ PS: Thanks to this new annoyance called Flood Control I had to wait 1400 sec to post this reply. No chance to reply as usual. Always a message about a too short time frame blablabla. I am really glad to be a normal member.

@Dietmar I forgot to ask whether TRIM is activated on your SSD at all. Try this cmd command to check it: fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify. If the output is 1, it is disabled. To activate TRIM use this command: fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0. Or, use a tool like SSD-Z if your SSD drive is supported.
